Chapter 22: Don't be nervous
According to Xiangjiang's regulations, police officers at the rank and file can retire at the age of 55, and Uncle Biao has just reached the age of 54 this year, which means that he can retire in one year.
Although he has survived until he is about to retire, Uncle Biao is still a senior police officer, and he is not even a sheriff.
The rank of senior police officer in the Hong Kong Police is actually more like its own employee welfare, as ordinary police officers can be promoted to senior police officers after serving in the Force for 18 years and passing the recommendation and assessment.
After being a police officer for 18 years, he can basically be rated as a senior police officer, and he has served the police force for 18 years.
Theoretically, senior police officers and police officers are actually at the same level, except that senior police officers have served in the force for a longer period of time.
Ordinary police officers are promoted to sergeant, and they only need to serve for four years and pass the selection and promotion examinations.
In other words, it is not necessary to be a senior police officer who is promoted to sergeant, and ordinary police officers can also be directly promoted to sergeant.
Those capable and self-motivated ordinary police officers will definitely be given priority to be promoted to sergeant, and will not wait until eighteen years later to become a senior police officer.
Therefore, many of the senior officers of the Hong Kong Police are in their forties and fifties like Uncle Biao, who have no motivation for promotion, and do not have the luxury of appreciating again, they just hope to spend every day in peace and receive a pension at the age of 55.
Uncle Biao, an old patrol officer who is about to retire, the police station will not give him heavy patrol tasks, and will basically arrange for him to patrol the more relaxed neighborhoods. After all, he was this age, and he didn't expect to run to catch the thief.
In case the thief is not caught, Uncle Biao will be tired again, and it will be regarded as a work injury, and the government will have to pay another amount of medical expenses, which is even less cost-effective.
Let this kind of old patrol officer turn to civilian work, they can't do anything. Police officers of this age generally do not have a high level of education, and if they really study well, they will not be mixed up for a lifetime and still be a uniformed patrol officer.
To borrow the words of Zhou Xingxing in "Truant Weilong": I became a policeman because I hated reading back then!
……
He Jiahui was on his first day at work, and as a pink newcomer, he honestly followed Uncle Biao's side.
Uncle Biao walked leisurely and asked in the voice of an elderly person: "On the first day of work, are you nervous?" ”
"Not nervous." He Jiahui shook his head.
I have been a policeman for more than 20 years in my last life, and I have faced so many vicious crimes, how can I be nervous when patrolling the streets!
Uncle Biao said to himself; "Young man, it's false to say that you're not nervous, and it's okay to be nervous. I remember the first day I went out on patrol, and I couldn't even walk!
But you really don't have to be nervous, just like you usually walk and look at the scenery. The street we walked on was a decades-old neighborhood, everyone knew it, and it was very safe.
It's a different story if you go five more streets to the east, there are several gold shops on that street, and if you're unlucky, you'll encounter robbers who will rob the gold shops! At that time, the main station will call the nearby patrol police to support.
Even if you call us for support, you don't have to be nervous, it's still quite a long way to walk past us, and by the time we get there, the robbers will have already finished the robbery and slipped away! ”
"Uncle Biao, I'm not nervous." Ho Ka Fai replied again.
However, Uncle Biao didn't seem to hear He Jiahui's answer, he said to himself: "I know all the old neighbors who live here, they all know me, they are all acquaintances, and there are usually no cases." Hey, Liu Ji, it's earlier than usual to come out of the stall today! ”
Uncle Biao said, and said hello to a merchant selling roast goose on the side of the road.
"Uncle Biao, I'm patrolling the streets again! This sir next to him looks a little raw! Liu Ji responded with a smile.
"This is He sir, who is newly assigned to our police station, and he will patrol the streets with me in the future." Uncle Biao pointed to Liu Kee's shop and said, "Liu Kee's roast goose is also very famous in Sham Shui Po, you must come and try it if you have the chance." ”
"Ah sir is here to take care of the business, I'll let you have half a goose leg!" Liu Ji opened his mouth and said.
"You see, these old neighbors in Sham Shui Po are very kind! Therefore, you don't have to be nervous, go back a few more times, take care of their business from time to time, and naturally get acquainted with them. Uncle Biao continued.
"Uncle Biao, I'm really not nervous!" He Jiahui said helplessly.
Uncle Biao still said to himself: "This set of equipment on our bodies, adding up to more than ten or twenty pounds, with these equipment a few laps, I have some back pain, how is it?" Are you used to it? ”
"It's okay, it's not tired." He Jiahui replied.
"In fact, when I was young, my health was also very good, and I never felt tired from patrolling, but at that time we had less equipment than now, and the weight was lighter.
I remember when I first became a policeman, I had a gun pinned to my waist, and I felt that I was majestic. Later, I found out that in fact, the gun is mainly to have a deterrent effect.
My gun, for example, is a merciful spear that has never been fired, and it alone can scare thieves away. Isn't it surprising that I've been a police officer for more than 30 years and haven't fired a gun? ”
He Jiahui was not surprised at all, the police in the mainland did not even need to carry a gun, let alone shoot.
Uncle Biao is still beeping blindly: "Don't be deceived by the movie, in the movie, the police pull out guns at every turn, and that's all acting." There are so many vicious bandits in the world, and I have never encountered them before. ”
At this time, He Jiahui had already seen that this Uncle Biao was a typical talker.
Sure enough, Uncle Biao opened the conversation box and talked about family life from daily work.
Talking about his wife's virtuous housekeeping and cooking a good dish, talking about his son graduating from college and finding a good job, and then enjoying a good life after retirement, it is simply a show of family life for elderly men.
With such a talkative partner, people who are more autistic have long been annoyed, but when He Jiahui died in his last life, he was about the same age as Uncle Biao, and he also had a virtuous wife and adult children, but he had a common language with Uncle Biao.
In addition to being a chatterbox, Uncle Biao also has the work attitude of a person who is about to retire, and he began to shout tired after walking for a while, and then he found a small shop on the side of the road, went in to blow the air conditioner, and rested for more than ten minutes.
If you encounter an ice house or a tea restaurant, you will order a cup of drink by the way, and the neighbors in the neighborhood are also very familiar with Uncle Biao, and they will chat with Uncle Biao from time to time.
There are no gold shops, no shopping malls, no tourist attractions, not even a phoenix on the first floor, so there are basically no strangers who come here.
It's really as Uncle Biao said, it's very safe here!
